SHOT BY HIS TENANT.

BLOOMINGTON, H., Dec. IA serious
shooting affair occurred on the farm of Mr..
Abram Stephens, near Weston, in this
McI ean) county about s o'clock yesterday
morning. Mr.. Stephens was shot by
tenant named David Cramer. Stephens is
a wealthy land owner and is about 65 years
of age. He has wife but no children.
Cramer is a young man OF y, OF good
size and has wife and child.
1t seems that Cramer and Stephens
had some difficulty about the rent due
Stephens. Cramer had rented Stephens
farm for the coming year, but for some
reason he had determined to leave the
farm and go to some other place. he had,
however done some work and made some
improvements, which Cramer alleges
were worth 500. He Creamery wanted
Stephens TO pay him this amount. The
latter, it seems, refused and Cramer then
watched for the coming OF Stephens, and
when he came to the farm yesterday
morning went out, armed himself with a
gun and revolver, and met Mr.. Stephens
with the intention of enforcing his claim.
He told Stephens at the point OF a gun that
he must pay him Slo0
Stephens at once grappled with Cramer
and the gun went off. but did no harm. In
the struggle Cramer used his revolver. one
barrel of which was fired, the Shot taking
effect III the lower part of the neck. 4
hired hand of Stephens came to the scene
and succeeded in preventing any further
shooting Cramer, however, compelled
Stephens, who fell to the earth when shot,
to give him all the money he had. This
amounted to So. When Cra.ler got this
be left ami went to his house
near by, where he was subsequently
arrested, and was placed in the county jail
in this city tonight. Cramer claims that
he did not intend TO shoot Stephens, but
that he simply used the weapon to threaten
him and 10 compel him to settle with him.
He alleges that the discharge OF the
weapon was the result of the struggle.
The victim OF the shot was at last ac-
counts resting easy, but the bali had not
been found 1t is thought it viii result
fatally.

The English mind, Zebehr said. could
hardly conceive the condition of the
Nyam Nyam people. They had no God,
no prophet and no law. One man wor-
SHIPPED tree, another his chickens, some
fire, some water, some the buffalo, some
the serpent. They had no occupation but
hunting and fighting one with another,
and they were cannibals. Cannibalism
prevailed among them to such an extent
that when he first went down they ate
none but human flesh. Men, women and
children We're killed in the market cut
up and sold as Europeans sell beef and
mutton. All prisoners of war were eaten,
and ill behaved persons; also men who
grew too fat to be good for anything else
and persons who died natural death.
A young Nyam Nyam, who was in at
tendance upon the pasha, explained, apro-
pos of this, that it is not the custom to
eat your relations. If your mother, for
instance, is supposed to be dying you ne
gotiate with some one of a neighboring
village to give certain sum for her body.
If she RECEIVERS, the bargain falls through;
if she dies, the fact is notified immedi-
ately to the man who has bought her and
she is taken away to be decently eaten at
a distance.-Contemporary Review.

The latest vegetable fat to attract COM
mercial attention is an extract of the
myristica sebitera, a so called bean, but
really species of nutmeg, which grows
wild in Guatemala, where the natives
gather it and obtain the oil from it for
soap and candles. The 'beans' are in
abundant supply, growing in punches on
the bushes, and they can be had at the
small expense of paying Indians to gather
them. A consular representative of Qua
temala is of opinion that there is a great
future in store for the fat of this vegeta-
bic, which, he thinks, would be 'good
substitute" for lard or butter Machinery
for crushing sesame seed, which is ex-
tensively cultivated in Guatemala, is now
